Religion is dualistic. Religious truth is individual truth; it has nothing to do with Self-knowledge or Bramha Gnana or Atma Gnana, which is non-dualistic.
I quoted them because all the religious scriptures also direct to the Self alone.
There are lots of add-ons to the scriptures by the orthodoxy in the past, and the real spiritual essence is lost.
If there is no consciousness, then there is no body, no world, and no God based on blind belief.
They simply assume that there must be a creator of this universe. If one thinks body or ego as the Self, then there is a creator, but if one thinks that the Soul as the true Self, then there is nothing that exists other than the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.
If one objectifies and sees a universe, then he is bound to see many things besides himself and postulate a God, the creator.
The Soul is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth. God is present in the form of consciousness.
God in truth is Self-evident. It is not established by extraneous proofs. It is not possible to deny God in truth because God in truth is the very essence of the one who denies God in truth. God in truth is the basis of all kinds of knowledge, presuppositions, and proofs.
God in truth is the witness-consciousness that experiences the action, the actor, and the world of separate things. It is like a light that illuminates everything in a theatre, revealing the master of ceremonies, the guests, and the dancers with complete impartiality. Even when they all depart, the light shines to reveal their absence.
Sage Sankara’s Supreme Brahman (God in truth) is impersonal, Nirguna (without Gunas or attributes), Nirakara (formless), Nirvisesha (without special characteristics), immutable, eternal, and Akarta (non-agent). God is above all needs and desires. God is always the Witnessing Subject. God can never become an object as God is beyond the reach of the senses. God is non-dual, one without a second. God has no other besides it. God is destitute of difference, either external or internal. God cannot be described because the description implies a distinction. God cannot be distinguished from any other than God. In God, there is not a distinction between substance and attribute. Sat-Chit-Ananda constituted the very essence or Svarupa of God, and not just God's attributes. The Nirguna Brahman of Sage Sankara is impersonal. :~Santthosh Kumaar
